Hevea-latex surgical gloves (non-powdered, non-antimicrobial) are single-use barriers designed to protect both patients and healthcare workers during surgical procedures. Their natural rubber composition provides elasticity and tactile sensitivity while shielding against microbial contamination, ensuring sterile conditions in the operating room.
These gloves are regulated as medical devices and must comply with safety and performance standards, including material purity and barrier integrity. They are typically supplied sterile, packaged individually, and classified based on their intended use and risk profile—though classification varies by jurisdiction.
